Griffin vs Solitude
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Griffin reads as greige-grey, while Solitude reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Solitude (LRV 38) reflects noticeably more light than Griffin (LRV 13), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Griffin runs warm while Solitude is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 31.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
